Qiu Tu's idea was simple, but also bold.
Wasn't Yan Chen planning to claim that the Scarlet Widow was an assassin sent by the United Front?
Then why not follow his lead, accept this "storyline", and then blow it up even further?
The United Front wanting to cause chaos in Xinjie City, sending a killer to assassinate Qiu Tu, the Head of the Political Department, actually makes sense.
But... let's be real, if the United Front is crazy enough to assassinate Qiu Tu right inside the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau...
Then, after failing to assassinate Qiu Tu and having their stronghold destroyed by Yan Chen's men, sending an elite special ops squad to try and kill Yan Chen the next day—it's pretty reasonable, isn't it?
Yan Chen just said in front of everyone yesterday that the killer was sent by the United Front.
So the next day, he's attacked by the United Front, and the assassins caught are all United Front members. Who's got grounds to doubt it?
